We had one (bundled with our cable subscription), but got rid of it about six months or so ago, because NO ONE ever used it (except marketers, political robo-dials, and collection agencies for whomever had the number before us...).

Now I've realized that I would benefit from having a landline for work...but I really don't want to go back.

Is anyone else completely reliant on their cell phones? If you had to, would you go back to the cable company? Try a different local provider? Or possibly something like Magic Jack? I need to get this sorted out soon and would love some advice, if anyone has any!

ETA: I really only would need this to make local calls!
